Just when you think they can't possibly have any more car related things to do, they come up with something crazy like this!

[@matiasketo5820]

I would never get this idea!

[@Boycott_Wendys]

Gasoline as coolant?😊

[@DOCTRJ]

When they check the comments theres hundreds

[@thatguyalex2835]

These guys have some *wheely* cool experiments, such as the seatbelt wheel release, and these guys never *tire* me. :) OK, I'll walk out now with my puns.

[@Colorado_Native]

​@@thatguyalex2835I agree. I was strapped in tight for this episode. Wonder what the plan is for the shoulder restraints. It's gonna be good.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

Their ingenuity seems to know no bounds, what a crazy, but brilliant idea.

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

The consumption of Vodka might help with some ideas they come up with?

[@apatrevi1]

Seat belt latches make for some interesting experiment ideas! I have some below: - How many seat belt latches are needed to tow a car? Maybe use seat belt latches to attach or pull a long trailer to go with the log truck. - Substitute seat belt latches for engine and transmission mounts to see how fast you can pull a drivetrain - Use seat belt latches to hold a head down on an engine block and see if it will run.

[@thehobo00]

actually amazing ideas

[@906MediaProductions]

Fun fact on your first point, the answer is one. In fact, the seatbelts are so strong I've seen a car lifted by one getting scrapped. I used a seatbelt to yank a Chevy 6.0 last year 😅 seatbelts are incredibly strong.

[@siraff4461]

In the US the minimum breaking force is 22,000n so you could probably tow quite a heavy car without any problems at all. Infact you're likely to pull the towing eye out first.

[@katsumiskytower8714]

seatbelt engine swap sounds nuts!!

[@andrenutbrown2284]

You got some great ideas man you must have too much time on your hands hahaha

[@jakubkrcma]

To see it work flawlessly is seriously impressive. I expected a failure in a few seconds, especially with a welded diff.

[@SaraMorgan-ym6ue]

a quick release mechanism on your cars wheel what could possibly go wrong with that plan?🤣🤣🤣

[@georgerosebush9754]

It's kinda impressive, but if it were real, it would have to last much longer and in crazier conditions than it did here. So the question isn't, does it stay on for a few minutes, but instead, does it stay for 100k+ miles.

[@leolego2]

​@@georgerosebush9754of course it doesn't. That's not the point

[@gone_wrenchin]

I would be curious to see you guys make a 2nd one for the other side and see how it holds up drifting! Would be the ultimate stress test

[@whyjnot420]

Usually I have some idea of what these guys need to create in order to do what they want to. I can envision it to some degree. This one broke my brain for a little bit. Well done. Seriously, wtf.

[@Reiner_Markenfreund]

🏁

[@twinstickpete]

Acceleration and braking are more on the studs... Try this setup on a circle track. Left and right turns will put more stress on the latches then just starting and stopping... Great Video Vlad.

[@410kane]

I was hoping he'd try drifting. He was just putting load on the lugs

[@twinstickpete]

@@410kane Yes, absolutely!!

[@fireballxl-5748]

In a world where no one would steal your wheels, this could be great. Brilliant idea.

[@dimitar4y]

such a sad world that thieves steal the most stupid of things..

[@christianw.8129]

Now that you have buckled on your tire, you should bolt in the passengers.

[@lamarstunts1846]

This got me so hard 😂

[@colenichols]

​@@lamarstunts1846 Ayo 🤣

[@LSniumUwU]

It never fails to amaze how they always get to make this stuff work. I guess if you have to tools and materials I guess anything is possible.

[@xxSgtXioXxx291]

And vodka and engineer brains

[@oshkiv4684]

Vodka. Definitely vodka

[@teardowndan5364]

Going mostly forward, the studs take most of the load and the buckles only need to keep the wheel on the hub. To really give them a workout, you need lateral load. Try doing donuts both ways!

[@markcdeyoung3118]

I wanted to see some good hard power slides If anything would unlatch your seat belt that would pull enough of the o'l sideways G's to do it 😅

[@user-gw8xb6zx9l]

Another Brillant experiment never ceases to amaze me keep up the great work guys .

[@xxace_tntxx4289]

I want to see the same thing but as engine mounts!!! Much love guys!

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

While not always good, your ideas are always entertaining 😂

[@antonchigurh6590]

Love your channel guy's!!! That was a crazy experiment; never would have thought that one :D

[@lesklower7281]

One of your best experiments totally out of the box well done can improvements be made on the design your team of master mechanics fabricators machinists for bringing your experiments to work and all of your team have extremely vivid imaginations can't wait to see what's next

[@CopeML]

This is probably do-able with quick release air fittings as well, for that matter It would probably be fairly easy to make an axle sized version of the same concept.

[@jesusisalive3227]

Kinda like a quick release steering wheel.

[@SlowMenWorking]

It would be hard to get the wheel off. At least with this design, they have that 4 pronged tool to detach all of them at once. Those air fittings can be a pain in the ass without a wheel in the way.

[@lazarusmunien2087]

U guys come up with the craziest ideas, thank u for sharing,love this Chanel

[@Wagonman5900]

I'd like to see that system tested to failure. Which is stronger, the buckles or the welds?

[@jamesMwebber]

Awesome way to think outside the box for quick wheel changes

[@bustatom]

Garage54 always test the most crasy stuff

[@Kowyn]

Sergei being previously employed at a tire shop is probably more of a handicap, I don't know anybody that works at a tire shop that works fast 😂. JK you did good Sergei.

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

Former tire shop manager, can confirm

[@MattyEngland]

This was amazing as always lads.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

This was pretty cool. Interesting idea that worked fine.

[@grugbug4313]

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

[@qwertyu3864]

You should get into making content on peformance and things like that. It would bring back the popularity on this channel.

[@TiernanWilkinson]

I had a flat tire recently and I was wondering, could you do a video making and testing tires made out of solid rubber to see how well they would work?

[@rtyuik7]

id imagine the only 'real' difference would be the Weight...but yeah, making a solid rubber tire seems like itd be right up their alley...

[@martinda7446]

Weight and a horrible bumpy ride.@@rtyuik7

[@mflocka]

i been watching this man for years..and it always be at 3am

[@wesleyooms]

Now make a whole quick release car; quick release doors, quick release seats, quick release engine block 🤣

[@punkr0cker22]

I love this channel

[@twoeightythreez]

Love this channel. Great idea but was expecting to see a bit of off roading and potholes, then see if they still actual release!

[@BigDipper907]

My guy droppin them dimes! 👨‍🏭 😂

[@seanreber9064]

Whoever's been picking the music recently has been doing a great job!

[@frydemwingz]

this is one of those things that is actually a serviceable, marketable idea. I want this on my truck.

[@andrenutbrown2284]

If somebody from a factory sees this that's a real possibility because it means selling not only the car but specialty tools to change the tires

[@samhicks97]

Wheel that comes off via seat belt buckle, Probably the most ingenious dangerous idea ever. *Approved*

[@markysspotlight2472]

The Lada kings strike again! 😂 Great experiment Vlad! 👍

[@chadbrowski2508]

This man is a piston return spring away from creating a market for Blinker Fluid.

[@alf3071]

you will never run out of ideas haha

[@marsrover001]

This is pretty high on the list of "this sounds like a very bad idea"

[@repairdroid77]

If you want to go further make an axle with the brake rotors next to the differential like in the suspension of the American humvee. Then have a CV axel going to this invention at the outer bearing side. It would then be able to have a brake on that wheel. I know that you guys can do it. Keep up the great work!!

[@kacperchrusciel890]

Axle

[@Vice4D]

I think that's DeDion tube

[@jeanlucmercet6231]

Bonjour, j'aime bien vos vidéos. Je trouve que les roues clips ables est une très bonne idée et c'est une idée qu'il serait bon de creuser et bien sûr d'améliorer ! Bravo et j'attends de voir votre prochaine vidéo

[@twocvbloke]

Gives new meaning to "Buckle up!!"... :P

[@THEONEANDONLYBLACKLEGO]

That's pretty neat.

[@TheRattyBiker]

That is fantastic! What a brilliant idea 👍 can't do it with nice wheels though otherwise cars everywhere would be on bricks.

[@rfitzgerald2004]

I'm amazed it didn't break, I know they're rated for some incredible forces but in normal uses those forces would be in particular directions and very different to the forces in this case. I thought the sideways motion (rather than traditional "pulling" motion) would break them for sure, but apparently not!

[@Yukanhayt-Mhenow]

I did too but then realized they machined studs to tightly fit the stud holes to prevent any sideways force on the buckles, they just prevent the wheel being pulled out away from the car.

[@naserpathan133]

Great job 👏👏👏👏

[@johnrobert2148]

On 1/8 scale Onroad Nitro cars, they have a similar quick release system. The system has been in used for more than 25 years. It is now I see it as a possibility on a full scale car.

[@sakurojason]

I wanna see that Lada drift with this setup

[@ooo3940]

Oh yeah just to add to the seatbelt buckle idea, you could add a spring to exert more force on the latches to ensure a tight fit...

[@noahingram8052]

Great job

[@hlara392]

good work boys

[@bren42069]

I love it, that's hilarious somebody call nascar, i think you guys are onto something!

[@ZOMBIEEZ]

when i thought this man has thought of everything 🤣🤣🤣amazing video

[@joelpww]

This is the second or third video from this channel i have seen, and they just randomly come up. These videos have only been ridiculous and crazy

[@atlasgunther8947]

do one on seat belts as tire chains for added traction

[@lexalford358]

Race car builders are going to be looking at this for their next big project in faster pit stops most have gone to the single nut holding the wheel on and ten second pit stops are really slow now for four tires and a tank of fuel

[@user-rc1vg7js5x]

this one was very cool

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

👋😂👌”Really!” Just when you thought you seen it all from this guy’s! They come with another surprise automotive test! They never disappoint!👋🤣👍

[@WORDFLESHGOD]

Hahaha what a hilarious idea! I love the idea it's so funny 😂😂😂😂

[@karlmoltzan6196]

I want to see you take it to the test track and do donuts. That is a real stress test.

[@theEVILone0130]

Slow for NASCAR and F1, but compared to the average joe or even as shown a professional tyre changer. You got something slick going on. Even if it doesn't work completely you have proven the concept valid.

[@Enjoymentboy]

Maybe try to create a quick release system using padlocks. The lock welded to the car with the latch part welded to the rim.

[@enzorum2560]

for those thinking this could be used in f1, it adds rotational weight on the wheels which is double the drawback than stationary weight

[@skywarts]

I think a trailer with drive going to the wheels would be an intersting video.

[@garycarpenter2932]

i'll always admit when i'm wrong. at the start, i said this is going to fail 110%. but watching the failure? awesome. this worked, still awesome! VERY IMPRESSIVE! hat tip to project farm..

[@75novaguy73]

Would have liked to of seen higher speed cornering but still pretty cool!

[@i_woke_up_in_a_new_buggati]

See that poster in the background at the start of the video? That's an idea right there. Do a gullwing conversion on a Lada!!!

[@jesuslovesyoujohn314-21]

Wow that is quite the idea, surprised me.

[@superduder]

These guys are into something big.

[@BoringContentCreator]

now this is cool

[@CagrBasarCanik]

Can you try to (or did you?) release them after this load test? Would like to see if it is still quite that simple to release like before, also would like to see if there is damage inside.

[@themetalslayer2260]

they're testing the welds because these latches can handle tons (during a crash you can whistand until 30G during a tenth of a second so 70kg x 30G = 2100kg for one latch and one of these latches stoped my 100kg++ during a crash so these latches can handle something like 5 tons each, so they're testing the welds not the quick release mechanism)

[@official_unreal]

I want to see a room tour with the whole team behind the camera. How does a day go for you? What is each person responsible for and stuff like that

[@jeffreyweinzierl1509]

I'd like to see you take it to the test track and drive in a figure 8 while gradually increasing speed. Test it to failure.

[@schowers]

Bro you need someone to do your voice overs. I love your channel and youre big enough you could easily find someone to do it

[@maderaditya.1302]

Motorsport about to be revolutionized with is invention.

[@jesusisalive3227]

I was skeptical until I saw the size of the axle lol I would definitely make those studs 1/2" longer though.

[@kousinkoolaid]

Hahaha. This is great. I wonder how they do under lateral load bs axial.

[@imranex523]

You are crazy, in a good laughable way🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love your videos, keep them coming .....

[@justinmiller1191]

That's pretty damn cool 😂

[@stevenleslie8557]

Very good!

[@Mafdowning]

The real stress was held by the 4 guide nuts and the center of the driveshaft. The seat belt mechanism only prevented the wheel from separating from the driveshaft. Don't get me wrong, it's still very impressive! 😁🤯

[@Jawst]

❤ official load rating "ginormous" 😂

[@xXturbo86Xx]

Genius. Imagine how much better a big manufacturer could have done.

[@dimitar4y]

nice one sergei :D

[@TheMeginieks]

My winterbeater need this 😂

[@Sparky_D]

More sketchy shit 😂 Love it

[@TommyOhmalley]

This vehicle has seen a lot in its time frame 😂

[@o______-]

this is antitheft and a crazy good idea, imagine how quick pit time would be if nascar had pop on wheels

[@scottneal2738]

How about a center clipping to make it easier for hands to push the sleeve in the center locking that give a lip edge to hold around the center keeping wheel on?

[@410kane]

You'll pass inspection with that 😂

[@DAV4WSR1]

Genius !

[@PREDATEURLT]

Will see this in F1 in next season.

[@MrZrazies]

50 years later in wreck yard. Science scratches their head thinking something valuable that can help with engineering structures for cars LOL

[@bradleytrott6735]

Garage 54 going for F1 pitstop times haha

[@jalalabdulmalak2506]

Please try to do some drifting and donuts to see if it will hold up the pressure

[@peterjohnson9438]

"Look at all that smoke!" most of it from the failed head gasket.

[@shaymcquaid]

Dang, I'd love to get a hold of what they're smoking!

[@Economan66]

Those buckles seem good, but I’m surprised that the tire didn’t give out, looks like a shifted belt!
